Rent a Work Platform for Telehandlers
Equipped with a work platform attachment—also known as a personnel basket—a rotating telehandler transforms into an all-terrain aerial work platform with exceptional load capacity. Where conventional scissor lifts reach their limits—such as on uneven ground, in tight access areas, or when multiple people need to work at height simultaneously with heavy tools—a rotating telehandler with a work platform offers a powerful, flexible alternative. Luibl rents out work platforms for telehandlers and offers delivery across Europe.

What can a telehandler work platform do?
The personnel work platform is a hydraulically controlled attachment designed for rotating telehandlers. It mounts to the boom head via the telehandler’s quick-change system, enabling the safe lifting of personnel and materials to significant working heights. Typical models feature platforms that extend to both sides, reaching an extended length of over 4 meters and a width of approximately 1.20 meters. The platform rotates horizontally by +90° and -90°, allowing for precise positioning at the work site without having to reposition the machine itself. Technical Specifications
Load capacity: up to 1,000 kg, depending on the carrier machine and basket model

Personnel capacity: up to 3 persons

Extended basket width: over 4 m

Horizontal basket rotation: ±90°

Compatibility: exclusively for rotating telehandlers with a 360° rotating superstructure

Controls: from the basket or the carrier machine

Mounting: via hydraulic quick-change system

Telehandler-mounted work basket vs. conventional aerial work platform
The decisive advantage of a telehandler with a work basket over a conventional boom lift lies in its load capacity: while articulating boom lifts typically offer a basket capacity of 230–300 kg, the personnel basket on a rotating telehandler supports up to 1,000 kg. This allows for the simultaneous transport of personnel and heavy tools or construction materials to working heights.

Another factor is off-road capability: rotating telehandlers can operate on uneven ground, unpaved construction sites, and in rough terrain where rubber-tired aerial work platforms cannot be safely used. Furthermore, the lateral outreach of a rotating telehandler significantly exceeds that of many telescopic boom lifts. Areas of Application
Industrial hall and steel construction: Facade installation, roof sealing, and installation of trapezoidal sheet metal cladding at great heights

Building services: Installation of ventilation systems, heating, and electrical infrastructure in industrial halls

Maintenance and inspection: Testing and servicing of roof structures, cranes, and technical equipment

Timber construction and carpentry: Installation of roof trusses and load-bearing structures, including simultaneous material handling

Infrastructure: Work on bridges, masts, and hard-to-reach structures in the field

Legal requirements: DGUV 308-008
The use of a personnel work platform on a telehandler is subject to DGUV 308-008, Level 2b. Operators require additional certification for personnel transport operations. Before each use, the load-bearing capacity of the ground, the machine's stability, and a specific operating procedure must be verified. Luibl can provide information on training partners and assist with project-specific operating procedures upon request.

FAQ: Renting a telehandler work platform
Which telehandlers are suitable for the work platform? Exclusively rotating telehandlers (Roto models) with a 360° rotating upper carriage. Rigid-frame telehandlers are not approved for personnel transport using a work platform.

How many people fit in the work platform? Depending on the model, up to 3 people with a platform load capacity of up to 1,000 kg—significantly higher than conventional aerial work platforms, which typically have a standard capacity of 230–300 kg.

What driving license and qualifications do I need? For road travel, a Class B or L license is required for the telehandler, depending on its weight. For operation with a man basket, additional qualification in accordance with DGUV 308-008 (Level 2b) is required.

Can I rent a man basket and a telehandler together from Luibl? Yes. Luibl rents out rotating telehandlers and man baskets as a coordinated complete package—with Europe-wide delivery via its own fleet of low-loader trucks.

What are the dimensions of the man basket? When extended, it measures over 4 m in length and approx. 1.20 m in width. Horizontal rotation of ±90° allows for precise positioning without repositioning the machine.
